Re the “Lutheran Boys and Girls of America”

Wuereas, The objectives, program activities, materials, and
methods of the Lutheran Boys and Girls of America are sound,
Lutheran,’ and practical for use among boys and girls ‘of pre-
confirmation age in congregations of the Synod; and |

Wrereas, The benefits to be derived from participation in these
activities and from the, use of these materials should be made
available to all congregations of Synod; and

Wuereas, The present sponsor, the Cleveland. Lutheran Busi-
ness Men’s Club of Cleveland, Ohio, has affirmed that the work of
sponsoring the activities of. the Lutheran Boys and Girls of
America could be done better if undertaken by Synod; and

Wuereas, There is reason to believe that more congregations
would avail themselves of the benefits of the program and have.
their groups of boys and girls affiliate themselves with the Lutheran
Boys and Girls of America if Synod would recognize, support, and,
preferably, undertake the work; therefore be it

Resolved, That the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri,
Ohio, and Other States, in convention assembled, give attention to ¢
the work being done by the Lutheran Boys and Girls of America
and that such work be recognized and from henceforth be under-
taken and supported by the Synod in any manner it deems ad-
visable in order that the benefits may be made available to all
congregations of Synod.

valuable information, particularly the language of some of the re-
ports made by convention committees. We believe that the use-
fulness of this daily bulletin can be increased by making it more
complete and inclusive. We therefore propose the following
resolutions:

Resolved, That a daily journal be published during the -ses~
sions of Synod’s Conventions; and be it further

Resolved, That the daily journal be under the immediate
editorship of the Secretary of Synod; and be it. further
